The procurement is a small purchase conducted under Utah Code § 63G-6a-506, requiring vendors to submit quotes by July 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MT to Chris Hughes at chughes@uca911.org, with questions due by July 7, 2026, at the same time. The work involves transporting four technicians and their tools, along with equipment and materials totaling approximately 5,077 pounds across three scheduled days, between the rally point at 6,099 ft MSL and the Blackcrook Peak site at 9,270 ft MSL, all to be completed by August 24, 2026. Vendors must possess a current FAA Part 133 Rotorcraft External-Load Operator Certificate and applicable FAA authority for personnel transport, with assigned pilots certified in vertical-reference, long-line, and high-altitude mountain operations. The proposed aircraft must demonstrate performance capability at the site’s elevation under anticipated conditions. Vendors are required to provide rated long lines, cargo transport bags, and a fuel truck with on-site refueling support, and all transportation and handling charges are the contractor’s responsibility under F.O.B. destination terms. The award will go to the lowest qualified, responsible vendor meeting all mandatory technical requirements, which, if unmet, result in immediate disqualification. The contract is governed by UCA’s Standard Terms and Conditions, which include provisions for termination with thirty days’ notice for convenience or due to changes in law or funding, and ten days’ cure period for violations before immediate termination. The contractor indemnifies UCA and the State of Utah, transfers all work product ownership as a “work made for hire,” and must maintain records for six years after final payment, subject to audit by UCA, federal auditors, or state officials. All submissions are subject to Utah’s GRAMA law, requiring vendors seeking confidentiality to include a written claim with redacted versions. Invoicing must occur within thirty days of service completion, with payment terms set at thirty days after receipt of a correct invoice, and late payments over sixty days may incur interest under the Utah Prompt Payment Act.
